About this breeding

Embark’s Pair Predictor tool puts this litter at DNA 17% COI
DNA tested inbreeding of most pure-bred dogs is usually far higher than the dog’s pedigree 12 generation calculations. For instance, the mother of this litter, Reign, is 5.13% COI on a 12 generation pedigree, yet in reality her Embark DNA tested COI is 21%. Check out the data on this in our article on DNA vs Pedigree on our own dogs.
A DNA tested 35% COI American show line dog can pair with a 35% COI American hunting line dog and the offspring’s COI can drop to 10-20%
Full American Show line and full European Show line dogs COI are each commonly 25-45%
American Hunting dogs are commonly 10-25% COI

Embark DNA shows the genetic inbreeding COI of all dogs they test. Breeders can run a Pair Predictor and see actual forecast of puppy COI. This tool is revolutionary for breeders. See what we learned from Embark DNA about our own dog’s inbreeding.

This is a unique blend of Show-line with Hunting-line Golden Retrievers. Both parents are calm, gentle, agreeable, pleasing and very easy to live with. These dogs err on the side of submissive and passive on the scale of Golden Retriever traits. The puppies from this pairing can range from “I love to fetch, let’s go!” to “I’d prefer to just hang out, right next to you”. We Volhard Temeperament test our puppies to know what traits are inherited to help match you to the correct choice.

The coats on this litter will be straight, smooth, low undercoat, some feathering and lower shed for a Golden Retriever compared to most show line dogs.

Both parents are lean, small, and very nice athletic structure. Pups should grow to be about 21-22″ tall and 45-60 lbs.

All the puppies will become a dark red color as adults, just like the parents

This line makes a great pet, plus good for a visiting therapy dog, service dog for disabilities and obedience competition. As always, Golden Retrievers are great for children.
